Discuss the theory of organic structure as an element of form in music, esp as it relates to single-movement sonata form. Describe the relationship of the return of the second theme in the recap of the form to its appearance in the exposition in your discussion.

I'll be performing at an amazing event at A Cavallo violins in Omaha, NE on March 19 and April 9th. There will be well over 100 modern violins on exhibition for the Art of Sound event, held annually at this great violin shop. There will be a night of solo playing on the 19th followed by a string quartet of modern instruments on April 9th. Excited to play so many great modern instruments, and what a great gift to local community to have so many makers represented under one roof! :)

The Art of Sound 2011 will be a rare opportunity to see and hear over 150 fine violins and violas made by some of the best living makers in the world. A. Cavallo Violins, LLC will have instruments from across the United States, Canada, Italy, Germany, England, China, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria on display during the show. There is no other event like this in the US!

All instruments in the show will be available for purchase. This is a golden period of violin making; the materials, craftsmanship and artistry today are unrivaled in history. Experience the art of violin and viola making at its best; enjoy events with great music, food and drink; and above all, make beautiful music!
